In the Level1techs there’s already a thermal problem

It reached 100C with only 33.8W, on my AMD 7840U I got 85-95C under 35W. Also, uneven CPU thermals, a whole 25C difference. idk about the 400MHz but I guess at least one of the cores got throttled. I prefer range on `btop`

The default setting (shown in the review) can be a bit random.

I guess that’s why [users can never get to advertised 60W PL2](https://community.frame.work/t/fw13-pro-benchmark-performance-discussion/83288), but it still better than the AMD models, performance wise

Also, I see this as a red flag

Please, do not bring connected standby to Linux
